Job description

The Opportunity

Not every Project Manager wants to spend two years buried in one large build.

This role offers genuine variety, clear project ownership and close involvement with site delivery. You will join an established North Brisbane construction and insurance repairs business with a growing workload and a broad mix of clients.

You will manage projects from planning through to completion, taking responsibility for programme, commercial performance, safety, quality and the client relationship.

This is not a purely office-based PM position. You will remain close to your sites and be expected to deal with issues before they become problems. Equally, you will not be left to carry the delivery alone, with support from a capable Leading Hand and an internal team of trades.

Your Role

You will take ownership of:

• Planning, programming and delivering projects from start to finish
• Coordinating internal trades, subcontractors, consultants and suppliers
• Managing project budgets, forecasts, cost reporting and financial control
• Monitoring programme and keeping delivery on track
• Driving safety, quality and compliance across each project
• Identifying risks and resolving issues early
• Managing client expectations and maintaining clear communication
• Delivering a consistently high standard of work

About You

You will be a practical, commercially aware Project Manager who understands both the paperwork and what is happening on site.

You will require:

• Project Management experience within construction
• A current QBCC Site Supervisor or Builder licence
• A current White Card
• Strong programming, cost-control and subcontractor management skills
• The ability to manage several live priorities without losing control of the detail
• Sound judgement and a solutions-focused approach
• Confidence dealing with clients, consultants, trades and internal stakeholders
• Clear written and verbal communication

Experience across insurance repairs, refurbishment, remedial works, maintenance or commercial building projects will be highly regarded.

What’s on Offer

• Genuine ownership of projects from planning through to completion
• A varied workload rather than one repetitive project type
• Support from an experienced Leading Hand and internal trades
• Direct access to an experienced management team
• The opportunity to grow with an established and expanding business
• Competitive salary package based on experience
